"Say you so, my friend?" said Jack; "you are a clever miller indeed!"

"Art thou," cried the Giant, "the villain who killed my kinsmen? Then
I will tear thee with my teeth, and grind thy bones to powder."

"You must catch me first," said Jack; and throwing off his invisible
coat, he put on his shoes of swiftness, and began to run; the Giant
following him like a walking castle, making the earth shake at every
step.

Jack led him round and round the walls of the castle, that the company
might see the monster; and to finish the work. Jack ran over the
drawbridge, the Giant going after him with his club: but when the
Giant came to the middle, where the bridge had been cut on both sides,
the great weight of his body made it break, and he tumbled into the
water, where he rolled about like a large whale. Jack now stood by the
side of the moat, and laughed and jeered at him, saying,

"I think you told me you would grind my bones to powder; when will you
begin?"
